This Southeast New Mexico Buffet Is Miles From The Big Cities But Still Draws Hungry Crowds

Holly Hop Ice Cream Shoppe Lubbock closes, cancels final hours

One of Lubbock's iconic ice cream shops has closed its doors, ending an 18-year run of sweet memories. Holly Hop Ice Cream Shoppe, 3404 34th St., announced via social media late Friday night that it would be closing, initially saying Sunday would be its final day of business but later announcing even its final day was canceled. "Unfortunately, we have been forced to close our doors earlier than we had planned, and we will not be opening today," the shop announced in a social media post late Sunday morning. The shop's owners did not immediately disclose the sudden nature of their closure. "This was not an easy decision, and everything has happened so rapidly," the business stated on social media. The initial closure announcement, made around 11 p.m. Friday, had initially invited people for one last hurrah from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday. The shop's antiques and decor will be available for purchase, although further details were not immediately available. Holly Hop Ice Cream Shoppe took inspiration from the 1940s and 50s. It opened in 2008 and moved to its current location in 2010 under the ownership of founder Darryl Holland. He sold it in 2021 to Wesley Trook, a then

Caprock Chronicles on Buddy Holly, Petty's complicated relationship

Editor’s Note: Jack Becker is the editor of Caprock Chronicles and is a Librarian Emeritus from Texas Tech University. He can be reached at jack.becker@ttu.edu. Today’s article is by frequent contributor Chuck Lanehart, Lubbock attorney and award-winning Western History writer. Serious Buddy Holly fans know he had a long struggle for success in the music business, despite early opportunities to record what eventually became iconic rock standards. But the controversial role of Norman Petty as Buddy’s manager, producer, recording engineer, and (perhaps) co-writer is often overlooked. Certainly not an overnight sensation, Buddy worked for years to showcase his talent, playing gigs at big and small venues, including opening for Elvis in Lubbock. He made many attempts to record his songs, laying down tracks on vinyl at Lubbock radio stations and multiple trips to recording studios in Wichita Falls, Nashville and elsewhere. But none of his early records were hits. Meanwhile, another musician, pianist Norman Petty of Clovis, NM, formed a pop group with his wife Violet (known as “Vi”) and guitarist Jack Vaughn, the Norman Petty Trio. In 1954, RCA Records signed them, and their cover of “Mood Indigo” reached No. 14 on the pop charts. Later, their record “Almost
